Why do you need to put crafters' gears being seperate again?

An interesting question is, "Why?".

The problem is the current condition of the economy as well as the userbase. Drop rates are low, so prices for these materials tend to be high. A new crafter would have to find a way of financing all those materials to level their class and obtain scrips. Unless the economy is overhauled, this seems like a bigger hassle than leveling all of your classes to 50. You'd need the capability of earning millions quickly in order to spend millions to level/progress.

Most endgame crafters also have all classes at 50, so selling your own HQ items to raise enough gil for HQ components from other classes will be tough. If they can already produce the materials themselves, they won't participate in the game of trading those basic materials on the mb. I don't see this changing without drop rate adjustments and an entire new army of specialists entering the fray.
